Nicole Strickland is the founder/director of the San Diego Paranormal Research Society and a bestselling author, podcaster, and speaker. She is an expert on the Queen Mary’s history and has written numerous books about the ship’s storied legacy. She also routinely conducts paranormal research studies across California, with an emphasis on local San Diego “haunts” and hotspots such as the Star of India and Cosmopolitan Hotel.

Over a few beers with host Pat Shanley at the legendary Aero Club Bar in Little Italy, Strickland discusses her career researching the paranormal and supernatural, the lustrous history of the Queen Mary and all those shadowy things that lurk at the murky edges of our subconscious.
